1 Kings 17
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word.
[厄里亞先知預言旱災]基肋阿得提市貝出身的提市貝人厄里亞對阿哈布說：「我指著我所服侍的永生上主、以色列的天主起誓：這幾年如果沒有我的命令，天決不降露或落雨! 」
2 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
你離開這裏，轉向東方，隱居在約但河東的革黎特校河旁。
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
你要喝那小河裏的水，我已經吩咐烏鴉在那裏供給你食物。」
5 And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.
厄里亞就依照上主的話去做，去住在約但河東的革黎特小河旁。
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.
烏鴉早晨給他送餅和肉來，晚上也給他送餅和肉來；渴了，就喝那小河裏的水。
7 And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land.
不幾天以後，那地方沒有落雨，小河也乾涸了。
8 And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,
有上主的話傳於厄里亞說：「
9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.
你起身往漆冬匝爾法特去，住在那裏；我已吩咐那裏的一個寡婦供養你。」
10 And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
他就起身往匝爾法特去了，來到城門時，看見一個寡婦在那裏拾木柴。厄里亞喚她說：「請你用器皿取點水來給我喝! 」
11 And she went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.
她正要去取水的時候，厄里亞又叫住她說：「請你也順便給我拿點餅來! 」
12 And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse; and behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
那寡婦說：「我指著永生上主你的天主起誓：我沒有餅，缸裏只有一把麵，罐裏還有一點油。你看，我正要拾兩根木柴，回去為我和我的兒子做點東西，吃了等死。」
13 And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards make for thee and for thy son.
厄里亞對她說：「你不用害怕，僅管照你所說的去做；只是先為我做一個小餅，給我拿來! 然後，再為你和你的兒子做，
14 For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth!
因為上主以色列的天主這樣說：直到上主使雨落在在地上的那一天，缸裏的麵，決不會用完；罐裏的油，也決不會缺少。」
15 And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.
那個寡婦就照了厄里亞的話去做了；她和厄里亞並她的孩子吃了許多日子；
16 The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah.
缸裏的麵，果然沒有用完，罐裏的油，也沒有減少，正如上主藉著厄里亞所說的話。復活寡婦的兒子
17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
這事以後，那婦人，即那家的主母的兒子病了，病得很重，就斷了氣。
18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?
婦人於是對厄里亞說：「天主的人，我與你有什麼關係﹖你到我這裏來，竟叫上主記起我的罪惡，殺死了我的兒子! 」
19 And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
厄里亞對婦人說：「把你的兒子交給我! 」於是厄里亞從她懷裏接過孩子來，抱到他住的樓上，放在自己的床上，
20 And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
呼求上主說：「上主，我的天主! 我寄居在這寡婦家中，難道你也忍心加害於她，殺死她的兒子嗎﹖」
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again!
厄里亞三次伏在孩子身上，呼求上主說：「上主，我的天主，求你使這孩子的靈魂再回到他身上! 」
22 And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.
上主聽了厄里亞的呼求，孩子的靈魂又回到他身上，孩子就又活了。
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.
厄里亞將孩子曾樓上抱下來，到房間內，把孩子交給他的母親說：「看，你兒子活了! 」
24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
那婦人對厄里亞說：「現在我知道你是天主的人，上主藉著你的口所說的話，確是真理。」
